Black Ops 2: First week UK CoD sales reportedly down 20% year-on-year

4.7
UK launch week sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 were reportedly down over 20 per cent compared to those achieved by last year's series release, Modern Warfare 3.

That's according to the latest issue of MCV, which claims to have been informed of the annual drop off in sales by UK retailers.
Nevertheless the shooter still enjoyed a very strong launch. Retail monitor Chart Track said on Monday that Black Ops 2 recorded the biggest UK launch of 2012 and the fourth largest of all time.

Black Ops 2's first week sales have only previously been bettered by 2010's original Call of Duty: Black Ops, last year's Modern Warfare 3 and 2009's Modern Warfare 2, although it should be noted that each of those titles launched on more than three platforms.

Black Ops 2 released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC last Tuesday, while a Wii U version will launch alongside Nintendo's new console on November 30.

-OH-NO- Call Of Duty : Slowly dying
Battlefield : Growing
Counterstrike :Big
MoH : ???


The part where you said counterstrike is big made me lol. It's an over rated fps for the PC, get over it. Call of Duty isn't dying moron, have you seen the sales numbers? Just because you and a couple of friends don't like it anymore, doesn't mean it's dying. Battlefield is "growing" because people like to play shooter games. Don't try to say battlefield is better or worse than CoD or any other game, because it isn't. To a true gamer, all games are equally good. 1/1000 people on this forum are true gamers, sad to say. /rant
